So I get my very first Sig Sauer out of Jail this Sunday and I cant wait to fire it. I am so excited to own my very own Sig and was hoping you all could tell me some excellent stories about your Sigs while I wait.

I just got my German trade in P225 yesterday too. I couldn't wait to take home and clean so I just shot it right after the paper works. It fired 250 flawless rounds despite being gummed up with grease and all other kind of s*^$ in it. After the short range trip, I spend 3 hours to detail strip every part and make sure all parts are working (found the slide roll pin was broken, need to replace).

Great gun, and I will post a range review soon.

can you two tell me the numbers on your standard front and rear sights. I am thinking of replacing the all black with standard white dot and post sights, but not sure if I should keep the #7 front and #8 rear sights the same numbers or change to #8 front and # 8 rear (standard now for all 9mm).

is it standard to have both front and rear sights having the same number?

My 225 is a German police trade in (JD), so I'm not sure if the sights were standard. But since I have such great first experience at the range, I'm not going to change them. It's #9 in front, and #7 at the back.

These numbers are based on the TruGlo TFO sight sets, and this is how TruGlo's (not Sig's) customer service people told me to order. I've got a 226 & 229 both in .40, and the #6/#8 combo is spot on for both of them.

I've been told to stay away from promag magazines, but I just had to try one of the 8 rounders for my P6. I have had the mag loaded for 5 months now, although I don't get to shoot much like I used to the magazine hasn't failed me. I have two original mags and the promag, I think that should be enough for a house gun.

Love my P225..I shoot better groups with it than I do with my brand new P226R, despite the 225 being an 80s police trade in

Nice find on some reasonably priced factory p225 mags. Cheapest I found new were from top gun supply at 40ish ea. (?). I am assuming these are intended for thumb mag release models which could also be used for Euro/ heel release models but not vice versa? It's next to impossible trying to find mags for my p220 9mm which is the thumb release model and from time to time see them for the Euro p220 although pretty rare nowadays. Luckily my p220 .38 super mags work flawlessly in my p220 9mm and was actually able to stock up more of them from top gun supply... I can see the p225/ p6 going that route as well since getting limited mag/ part support as well, I'm thinking...
